The Unfortunate Effects of Megalomania: Courtney Love and Billy Corgan Edition

For those of you who find Lulu-type mishaps deeply satisfying and wildly entertaining, these next two videos should leave you in a Thanksgiving-style food coma. The Wikipedia definition of Megalomania: Megalomania is a psycho-pathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of power, relevance, and/or omnipotence. ‘Megalomania is characterized by an inflated sense of self-esteem and overestimation by persons of their powers...

This Is A Man’s World

  My cousins(husband & wife), daughter and I took an impromptu trip to the grocery store tonight and like usual the women went one way and the man, the other. We met back up in the shortening aisle after a 10-minute delay and search & rescue operation and the sashay of a random woman’s...

Cleaning up Crap – It’s Important – Especially in Sports

(Warning: There are links in this blog that may be offensive to some individuals. Sorry.) I was at the circus with my wife and kids and marveled at the acrobatic and athletic prowess of the performers throughout the two-hour plus event. But something else caught my eye. Several “live” acts included animals – Shetland...

Soula Coaster: The Diary of Me, Music News, and More…

When it comes to writing these blogs, a decent title is about as important as the music news itself. Fortunately for yours truly, R. Kelly’s memoir is titled Soula Coaster: The Diary of Me. Kind of takes the work out of it all, doesn’t it? Apparently the memoir’s release has been put on...

Six Reasons to Dine In

    We all pine away for the perfectly cooked steak from our favorite downtown spot, every now and again. I know I’ve been dying to try Woodbridge Pub for a few months and as much as I’d enjoy resting while another person prepares a tasty meal for me, I’ve been more apt lately,...

On Nickelback, The Lions — or, I Want My $1.01 Back

It was somewhere in 1999 or 2000 when I saw Nickelback live. I’m not proud of it but it happened. This was probably the point in the band’s timeline where they were just beginning to get moderate radio play but well before their songs–or song, depending on how you look at it–were everywhere. It...

Perfect Egg Nog Recipe

  I have a confession. I’ve never had eggnog. As a child I was totally grossed out about the idea of drinking anything creamy that wasn’t a milkshake. Then to find out there are raw eggs holding the nog together, made it a definite no-go. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the traditional holiday drink...

Scott Weiland Sings Songs About Little Baby Jesus

Scott Weiland’s famous for a lot of things but mostly Stone Temple Pilots (early to mid-1990′s MTV and radio alt-rock heavyweights) and heroin (you know: junk, Mexican brown, smack). And while this may not garner him the same amount of notoriety as either of his 1990′s delights, the news is that Scott Weiland is releasing a record of Christmas...
